Henry Repeating Arms American Eagle…a True Work of Art

When is come to one-of-a-kind tribute rifles, Henry Repeating Arms leads the pack. Based in New Jersey with another factory in Wisconsin, Henry produces more tribute rifles than any other company. In 2019, Henry added a real work of art to their tribute lineup:  the American Eagle lever action in .22 short, long, or long rifle.

Giving tribute to the American Bald Eagle, the iconic symbol of America since 1782, the Henry American Eagle rifle blend styles of the old west, US history, and heritage. Building this rifle on the Golden Boy platform for which Henry is well known, the American Eagle sports a nickel-plated receiver, butt plate, and barrel bands with a blued octagon barrel instead of the usual gold accents of the Golden Boy. Another unique feature of the American Eagle is the wood finish stock with a look of ivory, making this rifle truly a one-of-a-kind offering with stunning eye appeal.

The American Walnut Stock goes through a process receiving “layers of primers and ivory color that are sanded down between applications to highlight the wood grain and achieve a natural look,” according to company literature. The ivory-colored walnut stock is then deeply engraved with the buttstock featuring the head of a bald eagle centered in a leafy, vine-engraved pattern. In addition, the American Eagle’s forend sports deep checkering and scrollwork, giving the look and feel of the old west.

The slogan of Henry Repeating Arms is “made in America or not at all.” The company has a proud legacy as an American employer as backs each rifle with a lifetime guarantee.
